More Details
In its first edition (1984), Rap Attack documented the origins of hip-hop and its genesis in the South Bronx. Many old-school hip-hop and electro pioneers were interviewed, including Afrika Bambaataa, Grandmaster Flash, Spoonie Gee, Double Trouble, Warp 9, Arthur Baker, and Bobby Robinson. Rap Attack 2 (1991), followed hip-hop into its mainstream phase of stadium tours, crossover records and Adidas sponsorship, interviewing Run-D.M.C., LL Cool J, The Beastie Boys and De La Soul. Rap Attack 3 closes the circle by examining rap following the fatal shootings of Tupac Shakur and the Notorious BIG, gangsta rap overload and the resultant upsurge of nostalgia for old-school hip-hop and its now legendary Djs, Mcs, graffiti artists, and others.
